Hi, I'm Danielle. I love telling stories.

I am a writer, I am a feminist, I love bacon, I move around America a lot, I once stabbed a man in self-defense, I drink whiskey and do not like beer, I enjoy knitting, I want to throw up when I see people brushing their teeth in front of me, I’ve had one million jobs, I'm terrible with directions, I'm constantly working on forgiveness, I have a terrible memory for names, I have an obscenely loud laugh, I had dreadlocks for ten years but I now rock an afro, I’m a sucker for British comedy, I’m a 32-year old college undergraduate, and I've been blogging here since 2003.

I've been a barista, a bartender, a glassblower's assistant, a fish chucker, a toy store lackey, a grifter for the United Nations, an office monkey, a waitress, a kitchen assistant, and a bookstore chump.

I believe you have the power to change your life, every day.
